Bottom line it's like comparing apples and oranges. Both cars are capable cars and great perfomrance bargains, but in different price ranges and with different target markets.
All things considered (including price) I prefer the Z. That doesn't mean I didn't like Corvette, just that overall I would rather have a Z. However, performance wise the Corvette is the king of the hill in almost every category. It really depends on what you want.
What I want is a Z with an LS3 motor.    |
I agree. However, I came from owning an LS1 car. I loved the power, but after a while, all I could think about was what a POS my WS6 was, how it rattled, how it broke every other week in one way or another (literally). How the door-panels were cracking, etc.
Sure, beating NSX's and all that was fun, but in the end I drove a POS and I hated it.
The C6 isn't a POS taken on its own, but compared to the Z, it kinda is unless you get the 4LT package (or 3LZ), but even then the interior quality is lacking, the seats are unsupportive, the thing creaks and has horrible cowl-shake, etc.
Yes, it is fast.
Yes, with 325's out back it does have 1G lateral grip.
I went and looked at 911's today. I could not tell a difference in the 100K 911 Carrera's interior and the 370Z Touring's interior as far as quality or material use. I prefered the lay-out of the Z. I really don't think the P car had ANYTHING on the Z as far as interior in any way. Again, I don't own either car, so I am not trumping up "my" car. Just calling the shots how I saw it.
